When I took an ESL course at College the first thing that my teacher said was “There’s no secret how to speak English, only practice, practice and practice”
Absolutely... Consistency is key. You gotta watch yourself and stay hungry (and humble). People take language learning lightly. It takes a hell of a time and effort to not only learn it but also keep it. Whenever someone tells me they gotta learn English quickly because they need it for work and so on, I just give them the truth. It's a long and windy road, my friend. (And it pays off)
The first channel teaching true fluent English. The English we all need to learn to speak correctly. Thank you for all the job you carry out and the time given when making your videos. Amazing when I get to understand fluent english in movies and all thanks to you and the way you teach english. The best way to learn.
A lesson like that should be of pivotal importance in every English course 👍Well, it isn't though, much to my awful chagrin 😥 In my country, teachers are completely unaware of the problem, which is due to the fact, that instead of learning English by listening to native speakers, they learned from other teachers in my country, who were also unaware of the problem, etc., etc. As a result of such an 'education' system, we have generations of people over here, who desperately need subtitles in their first language, in order to understand what actors are saying in Hollywood movies - and they need those subtitles after twelve years of studying English in school... That's wild, ain't it? Thank you, Brittany, your lesson is really so helpful! 👍👍👍
@@michiv334 Thank you! I’m so happy you found it helpful ❤️ Please don’t be too hard on your teachers. Most native speaking teachers are also unaware of (or just don’t have the time or experience) to teach this type of pronunciation in class. Hopefully it becomes more and more common, because students tend to find it very helpful 💕
@@EnglishwithBrittany Thank you for answering my message, Brittany. Many of my friends who moved to English speaking countries found themselves unable to communicate with native speakers, and they ended up learning English from scratch again. But, back in the day, they earned excellent grades in English at school! In a classroom, people learn how to pass tests and exams, but they still cannot communicate in day-to-day situations. Thus, teaching English at school in my country (not only mine, I believe) is a really good way to waste people's time, energy and passion, and that's why I bash them teachers so gladly 😠 Again, thank you for a great English class, Brittany, and have a fantastic day! 😀
@@michiv334 That is indeed very frustrating to have to learn a language from scratch after having studied for years… and to only be taught with the intention of passing exams 😔 Thank you again for your thoughts on this! 💛
A very resourceful video... The nature of the language you're speaking of applies to any language. English has a form of writing. English has a form of pronouncing individual words. English has a form of pronouncing words when speaking. Think about your native language. It's the same.
Amazing video! I've been studying English for almost 2 years, and even though I still find it a bit difficult to understand native speakers, thank you so much Brittany for your content. I've subscribed to your channel 👏👏
I'm Brazilian and an EFL teacher. It's also interesting how the sound of 'd' in the end of some words changes when the next word starts with a vowel. For instance, 'watched' (ch-t) and 'watched it' (ch-di/ch-dit). Most of my students initially think I'm saying the former when I'm actually saying the latter. They think 'appreciate it' is 'appreciate' (because the 'e' at the end of a word is not always silent in Portuguese [depending on the accent]).
@@rchrd_sn So interesting! If I’m not mistaken, we’re talking about the “flapped t” sound which changes “d” sounds to “t” sounds in many cases (in American accents anyway!). This can truly be so strange for learners, and probably should have been included in this video. Thank you for your comment!
Fabulous, this is real English... with the other slow English I don't understand anything when I travel to the USA... thank you Britt !.... you have a new subscriber now !!
Thank you so much Brittany. I will practice with you every day. Please have lessons like this more often. I still practice about intonation and fluency to sound like native Americans. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for giving us the keys to understanding spoken English this is the best video i've ever seen on this topic, i was already frustrated with just reading subtitles and getting lost when i watched movies, this video is really helpful
I’m so happy to hear that! This other video I made is all about understanding subtitles (not sure if you’ve already seen it): th-cam.com/video/GEUbPK49d_E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tr1rJZ8v7TB5Yt0J ❤️
Here’s my two cents worth of one vital tip to taking your English to a higher level. By the way, I am a non-native English speaker who might be able to help those who are still grappling with this Teutonic based language: READ. Read both fiction and nonfiction books. Read as many books and as much as you can. Read even the subtitles on the movie screen of your DVD or/and Bluray discs
I have a suggestion for a video idea. Could you make a video where you say a sentence and then break it down? It would be helpful if you could explain the pronunciation and highlight any advanced expressions or phrases used. I think it would really help us understand and practice speaking more naturally.
I really appreciate your effort and profesionalism.Thank you for this amazing class. In so few minutes, I have learn a lot to improve my pronunciation and undestanding of conversational English.
I stumbled 📱upon your channel by coincidence I am a new English learner and I have explained a lot of things that were forming me in understanding native speakers. It really helped me 💐 Subscribed to the channel successfully 🔔
Wow. TH-cam just recommended this video and I couldn't be more happy. You have a fun and very didactic way of teaching. Already subscribed, and loved this class!!! Tysm. 🙋🏻♀️
Great Brittany! Fisrt time watching your videos, and truly, first time I find a usefull explanation to my frustration! Thank you so very much. I'll follow your advice. Enlightening!
Hey, Brittany! Top-notch lesson! I’ve happily stumbled upon your channel. I really like your attention to detail and the very useful reminders! I’m definitely subscribing. Thank you!
Initially, this video discouraged me a little. Of course, you did an excellent job explaining all these things, but I realized that English is more complicated than I expected. There are so many things to learn to be able to understand native speakers in different situations. Anyway, after these 25 minutes, I feel like I'm a little closer. I'd like to ask you if you teach on some English platform or anything similar. You're a great teacher! Thank you so much! 😊 I hope you feel better soon!
@@98Thamara thank you so so much for this comment! You don’t know how helpful it is! It’s really my fault that you felt overwhelmed - I tried to fit too much into just one video. I will keep this in mind for the future. It would probably be more helpful for me to make 5 or more separate videos for each of the points that I talked about here! There is a lot to know with listening pronunciation, but I hope it doesn’t ever discourage you or make you feel less motivated. In the end, if you are enjoying the learning process, all of the elements in this video (and more!) will become clear to you with time. Hope you have a nice weekend!! 🤗🤗
No, I didn't mean that it's your fault; of course, it's the complexity of English! Every language is challenging, and it takes time (and patience). You're doing an amazing job simplifying lots of concepts and putting in your best effort to help us. I'm so grateful for that. Also, I adore long videos! It's a pity that you don't teach on English platforms, but if you ever do someday, please tell us! Thank you for answering my comment 😊
Two things to say, I have kind of a doubt about the pronunciation of them and him, in the 3rd scene about this topic,I thought the girl said him instead of them idk why but but for are pretty similar. And the 2nd thing I have to say is THANK SO MUCH for these videos they are the best and most helpful I've seen❤
@@CamilaAlejandra742 Hi! Thanks for this great observation! It’s 100 percent possible that “them” and “him” can sound the same in spoken English (they can both sound like “um” or [əm] in IPA). So without context, it’s true that we sometimes can’t tell if the person said “them” or “him” 🙁 I’m really glad the video was helpful!
Altra lezione fantastica. Grazie di cuore! Dovresti realizzare un mini corso qui su YT unicamente dedicato alla pronuncia. Sei molto brava come insegnante!

Hi, I'm from Brazil! Even when I use subtitles, I find it very difficult to follow the characters' speech in many series and films. I guess these tips make it easier!
English teachers often draw a contrast between "short" vowel sounds, as in "ship," and "long" vowel sounds, as in "sheep." This explanation always bugs me because, for example, when you sing a song, you may want to make a sound "long" or "short" depending on the tune not on pronunciation rules. So I'm happy you're not using the terms "long" and "short" in your explanation!

I have the theory that everything takes time, if you are consistent with your English learning, sooner or later you will become fluent.
I like this theory!
I think it's not about fluency (that has to do with speaking), it's about listening comprehension, and that also takes time.
When I took an ESL course at College the first thing that my teacher said was “There’s no secret how to speak English, only practice, practice and practice”
